CIOs are under pressure from their Boards and CEOs to present a consistent data and, more importantly, AI strategy. We advise our customers that a consistent AI strategy is impossible without a properly structured and implemented data strategy. It is critical to have proper data governance, data organization, and ELTs to provide a foundation that can be further explored by AI and Machine Learning.
So, make sure to include these pillars in your communication.
